speaking of which, I had a flakey router that kept working in evey other aspect, but refused to forward me through for remote admin. I was glad the office is only 10 minutes away. I figured that out and replaced the hardware.

Yes, I have admin rights, and I have admin rights to all of the other computers. And for the people that have admin access on their PC's that go through and screw with stuff I have AD rights to disable or delete their accounts.

Domain admin for our domain (30 people), but not for the entire corporation.

I hit no, but then I realised I do, heh. I don't have admin privs in the Point of Sale software, but I could do anything else to the computer that I wanted.

Yes, had to reset the admin password via that password recovery program though. Our IT dept. sucks.

Check the Administrators group on your PC. If Domain Users is in there everyone in the domain has Admin rights. If a group you are in or your name is in the list you have the rights. If not, you do not have those rights.
